Had one of these, Enfield .303 No. 4 MKI (T). Pretty acurate at 200 and 300. Wish I still had it.

My son has my father's .303 Enfield. Daddy modified it for deer hunting, but other than that, it's as good now as it was in 1943. Was a bit of a trick figuring out what ammunition we needed until the attorney I work for told us it used .303 British.

(No cracks about age, if you please. I also have the circa 1849 weapon my gg grandfather carried in the Civil War and I am nowhere nearly old enough to recall that gun when it was new. I was a mere child when Vicksburg fell...)

When considering weapons for this type of use, I also take into account the potential availability of replacement ammo. .223, .308, and 12ga would most likely be more available in these parts than some others. Seem to be pretty popular rounds. Same with .45 and 9mm for handguns.

Also, if you are thinking about being in a WROL (without rule of law) situation, you should consider a good .22LR and several thousand rounds. Lots of rabbits, squirrels and other edible things could be taken down without using up the more precious self defense type ammo.

Just a thought.

One of the reasons I made my choices, is that all are available as military rounds. It has been easy to obtain inexpensive quality ammo.

I consider calibers using the "Walmart test". Is this caliber common enough they'd carry ammo for it?
